On 15 March, the Wang puppet government's National General Chamber of Commerce was established in Shanghai, and Finance Minister Zhou Gaohai and Industry Minister Mei Siping came to Shanghai to attend the inauguration ceremony on behalf of the Jinling government.

In addition, there were more than 200 representatives of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, the Consulate General in Shanghai, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession and the Public Board of Directors of the French Concession, representatives of the Shanghai Navy and Army Garrison Headquarters, personages of the business and financial circles in Shanghai, and representatives of various Japanese trades.

"Brother, the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and Commerce are busy receiving VIPs, but you, the deputy secretary general, are hiding on the side, which is sorry for the high salary of the Council!" Lu Ying leaned over and said.

In fact, since the evacuation of the secret service headquarters from Shanghai, there have been very few assassinations, and the military commanders may still have a few small fish, but they can't afford to turn up the storm.

Although Chen Mingxiang is the chief of police and belongs to the superiors of the municipal police department, he can talk in private, and there is no need to make the relationship between superiors and subordinates so clear, and this title can also shorten the distance between the two.

"If I do, what else will happen to them? This deputy secretary general is just an ornament, I can listen and see but I can't speak, look at the big boss of the Chamber of Commerce, he is either a banker or a businessman who is famous in Shanghai, I am just a smuggler, how dare I steal the limelight with them? Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

It is true that Chen Mingxiang is a supervisor and deputy secretary general of the CCC, but there is no important division of labor, and the functions set for him by the CCC are to contact the city government and the garrison agencies, coordinate the communication of affairs between all parties, have an office and a secretary, and can go to work or not, and receive a salary when the time comes.

He didn't plan to be active at the inauguration ceremony of the Chamber of Commerce, but hid outside the door to smoke, for him, in the future, he should show his face in public as little as possible, so as not to make trouble for himself in the future, and it will not be easy to clear his identity at the moment.

"That's what I'm saying, who of these big shots who dare not give you face, just now Commander Kinoshita Sakae asked about you! In terms of weight, compared with you, these bigwigs of the Chamber of Commerce and Commerce are only on the sidelines! ”

"To get down to business, I have found a British merchant's textile mill in the Public Concession, which is large enough to use, and I have applied for the opening of the Gendarmerie Command and the Ministry of Industry as the location of the Higher Police School of the Superintendent of Police."

"The environment in the factory is not bad, but the workshop needs to build partitions and decoration, as teaching classrooms, and build several rows of bungalows as dormitories, and the office building must also be redecorated, which requires money. Lu Ying said.

After Chen Mingxiang became the chief of police, he said that he wanted to set up a police academy of the higher police secretary, and at first everyone thought that he was talking casually, and the new officer always had to have some goals, but he did not expect that not long after the New Year, it had already begun to be implemented.

Chen Mingxiang's plan is that the school will start construction at the end of March, be completed by the end of June, and officially open on July 1, and he will naturally be the principal of the school.

As for the selection of the vice principal, several deputy directors of the police department cannot escape, and Lu Ying is the police chief of the school where the school is located, and not only joins the school board as a member, but also concurrently serves as the vice principal.

"There shouldn't be any problem with this, I'll go to Minister Zhou with you later, call Pan Sansheng to have a meal together tonight, finalize this matter, and directly allocate funds from the Shanghai branch of the Central Savings Bank." But your brother also has to take it easy, don't stretch his hands too long, and make sure that all the work is delivered by the end of June. ”

"The establishment of the Higher Police Academy has received strong support from the Mei organ and the Gendarmerie Command, and no one will be looking for trouble, this is the internal affairs of our Police Division, who dares to talk and point fingers, you let him come to me directly." Chen Mingxiang said.

The Higher Police Academy of the Police Department is an important part of cultivating forces for him, but when it comes to engineering construction, he has too many part-time jobs, and he is too lazy to talk to those builders, so this work is directly handed over to Lu Ying.

Lu Ying is a local snake in Shanghai, and people from all religions and nine streams have dealings, so he is the most suitable candidate, but this old fox has an advantage, he can distinguish between the important and the important, and even the Japanese have high hopes for this school, and he does not dare to do anything in terms of the quality of the project.

As for the problem of corruption, it is needless to say, it must be inevitable, it is nothing more than a question of how much, in the major yamen of the Wang puppet government, this has long been the rules of the game, and if you are not corrupt, you will be considered corrupt, so why not be corrupt?

Chen Mingxiang is not worried about Lu Ying's corruption, anyway, the cost of this project is allocated by the Ministry of Finance, and it is not his money that is spent, as long as the school is built, everything is fine.

"I found a few more construction companies to carry out the construction, and it will be completed by the end of May, and the newly built house is always a little damp, and it will take two months to ventilate before people can live in."

"In accordance with the requirements of the special service of the Ministry of War in Shanghai, the police academy should also hire Japanese advisers, and yesterday afternoon I went to the office and saw Major General Shizaburo Miyazaki receiving a guest, who was said to be recommended to the police academy as a consultant. Lu Ying said.

Chen Mingxiang was stunned when he heard Bei Zeping's name, this guy really came to Shanghai in advance, and he also started the layout activities, and he actually wanted to go to the police academy as a consultant, but his hand was quite long.

It's a pity, an outsider like you, your mouth is too wide to break your front teeth, and the Mei agency itself has a special supervisor in charge of policing, and you want to meddle in the work of the police department as an intelligence director, which is a serious act of overstepping your authority, and the little Zhongzuo is not qualified enough.

Every department has its own set of rules for the game, and the same is true for Japanese secret agencies like the Mei Agency, which can do whatever it wants, even Shibayama Kanshiro would not dare.

"The Army Ministry's special service in Shanghai is only responsible for the work of Shanghai, while the Higher Police School is subordinate to the Department of Police, and they are not qualified to do so.

"I plan to recruit cadets for the school at the beginning of May, and this time the principle is that each police station will select a group of outstanding young police officers to recommend a batch, and then recruit a small number of them from the society, and after a year, the police department will be responsible for distributing them to each police station, and the ratio of male police officers to female police officers is 10 to 1."

"Lao Lu, your Shanghai Police Station must set an example for police stations in various places, how can you say that Shanghai City is also fighting at home, and it is not okay to drop the chain." Chen Mingxiang said.
